SvcHost.exe is the "Generic Host Process for Win32 Services". Just a launcher for subprograms.

Can you identify the particular service? The PID is not the same for others, and I don't recognise secsves.

If you can download and run procexp.exe from Sysinternals.

Click View\ Show Processes from all Users

If you hover the mouse over the particular process, it will tell you what service or services that the particular svchost.exe is responsible for.

Once you get it's name, we can decide whether the service is supposed to be there or what entry in the Control Panel\Services you should stop or restart.
